LIABLE, AM I

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

softly upon
a foreign field
I step forth
to helplessly explore
probing a timeless wound
that only shallowly heals
ever so painful if brushed
more real
than a heart beat to the ear
such memory
of actor and events
cancers the emotions
so carefully stored
yet I pray for that plot of earth
to sustain for another
a garden most joyous
even while
'Liable Am I' myself
to needlessly starve
my spirit shall always linger
at the abandoned back gate
selflessly optimistic
even in disbelief still
of the confusing circumstances......

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Was comparing a former fizzled out relationship which I did not quite understand the ending to that of planting a garden in a stranger's field. How could one expect a better out come. I guess that was what I was trying to get across to the reader. Even while in the relationshp deep down I suppose I should have known it would never work out there were too many long shots factored from the onset.
